German WW II era Blohm & Voss BV 141.
One of aviation's true oddities the BV 141 performed surprisingly well, but never saw operational service. Three prototypes of the BV 141 were made, before it went into limited production. Only a total of 23 were built.
It was a real challenge to get the airplane physics right.
Use of the high rate toggle switch position is fine.
Take offs are not particularly graceful. Use a bit of left rudder to compensate for yaw to the right. No landing flaps available. Quite stable at flying speed. Has conventional landing gear retracts.
A surprisingly decent flying airplane once you get it into the air.
